Cook the channa dal with enough water in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes. Let it cool. Open the lid and add the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, turmeric and chilly powder. Pressure cook for another 5 minutes. Grind the coconut, cumin seeds and green chillies to a fine paste. Add it to the cucumber and dal mixture. Add salt and mix well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes and switch off the flame. Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add curry leaves and dry red chillies. Pour the seasoning over the curry and mix well. Serve it with steamed rice or chappathi. Cheers!
